"Your Highness, the county is going to Yunwu Mountain." Xiao Feng stepped forward and lowered his head to report, interrupting the young man's contemplation.

He was extremely long, wearing a blue Yunxiang rune dragon pattern suit, a white belt with simple patterns around his waist, only an ink-colored jade pendant, and his ink-black thick hair was neatly combed, and he wore a crown with dark feathers.

The slender and clean fingers tapped the square table again and again, and the eyes were deep, like a black hole, which made people unpredictable.

At this time, when he heard the words of his subordinates, he suddenly got up and walked towards the door.

"Your Highness......" Xiao Feng opened his mouth and stepped forward to follow His Highness.

In the front yard, Jing Xi was about to go out with the secret guard when he was stopped.

"Girl!" The boy stepped forward and walked with her.

"Brother Chen?" Jing Xi saw that he was a teenager and was a little puzzled.

"I'll go with you." The young man spoke, his expression was gentle, and his tone was soft, but he could not refuse.

"Huh? Oh, good. Jing Xi looked at the handsome and lazy figure of the young man, and was stunned for a moment before agreeing.

The boy followed the little girl to the Cloud Mountain.

……

Hundreds of miles away in the capital Xiangguo Temple, the emperor is holding a ceremony to worship the sky.

Xiangguo Temple occupies a pivotal position in the Xia Kingdom, even the abbot of Xiangguo Temple, Master Guangliang, does not need to salute when he sees the emperor, just according to the number of Buddhist rituals.

Xiangguo Temple is the axis layout of the Xia Kingdom tradition, the main buildings have the gate, the Tianwang Palace, the Daxiong Palace, the Octagonal Glazed Palace, the Tibetan Scripture Building, etc., distributed along the axis from south to north, the east and west attics and the corridor on both sides of the main hall stand opposite each other.

The Tibetan Scripture Pavilion and the Daxiong Treasure Hall are all Qing Dynasty buildings, the form is heavy eaves rest the mountain, the layers of bucket arches are overlapped, covered with yellow and green glazed tiles. The temple and the platform are surrounded by white stone railings.

The octagonal glazed hall rises high in the center, surrounded by verandahs, covered with glazed tiles, and the wing corners are suspended with bells. The hall is built in the wood carving tantric four sides of the thousand hands dry eyes Guanyin giant statue, about seven meters high, the whole body is pasted with gold, it is said that it is carved into a whole ginkgo tree, it is extremely exquisite.

As for the bell tower, there is a huge bell in the memory, weighing more than 10,000 catties, and it is called "Xiangguo Frost Bell".

Sacrifice to the gods, sacrifice to the heavens. Worship the sky is an annual major sacrifice in the Xia country, is the form of "communication" between people and the sky, and Xiangguo Temple, is also the location of the sacrifice to the sky, the ceremony of worshipping the sky is usually presided over by the "Son of Heaven", and then there is the abbot of Xiangguo Temple, Master Guangliang, presided over the worship, leading the monks of Xiangguo Temple to pray for the blessing of the Xia country.

By worshipping the heavens, people express their gratitude for the nourishment and nourishment of all things, and pray for the blessing of the emperor. The ritual of worshipping the heavens is complex and complete, and the main process includes welcoming the gods, bowing, entering the ceremony, making the first offering, sub-offering, and final offering.

The first part of the ceremony is to welcome the gods, and fireworks are raised in the burnt wood stove, expressing the meaning of worshiping heaven in the world.

Emperor Xiao Yintian to Haotian God card in front of the main seat of the bow and bow, and then to the ancestors to match the front of the incense, bowing. After returning to the throne, bow three times and bow nine times to the gods. After welcoming the gods, it is to lay jade silk, that is, to offer jade and silk to the gods and ancestors. During the salute, Tai Changqing guided the emperor to wash and go to the shrine to make three incense offerings, and the deacon presented the jade silk to the emperor.

The emperor went to the tablet of God and ancestors to pay tribute, bowed and bowed and returned to the throne. The third step is to enter the altar, after the inner praise is played and ascended to the altar, the emperor is accompanied by the guide to the main position, and the emperor is reinstated. Next, the first gift. The emperor first to the lord to wash the throne to receive the knight, the clean, the lord, into the knight, and then ascend to the altar to the wine respect, the consul to the lord into the emperor, the emperor to the throne before kneeling to offer the knight, three incense ceremony, at the same time the division of the kneeling to read the blessing, the music is suspended, read the music up.

After the first offering, the second offering and the final offering are performed, except that the blessing is not read, and the procedure is basically the same as that of the first offering. After the final offering, the drink blessing is bowed, the officials of Guanglu Temple play the blessing wine, the emperor bows and returns to the throne. Sacrifice to the sky is the head of the great sacrifice, according to the ancestral system for the emperor to worship, but in the later period of the dynasty, the son of heaven is more neglectful, and even the sacrifice of heaven is also sent to the official to worship.

When the officials saluted, the ritual was greatly simplified, in which the blessing of drinking and receiving the blessing was put aside, implying that only the Son of Heaven could receive the blessings bestowed by God.

After drinking and receiving blessings, he wrote and sent it to God. Reading the blessing of the official, into the silk official to hold the silk, the priest to hold the writing, are sent to the furnace to burn, the emperor to the burning position to watch the burning of the sacrifice, the praise is finished, the ceremony of sacrificing to the sky is officially over.

After the end of the worship ceremony, the capital is surging again, and now in its form, many officials dare not easily stand in line, even if the prince has been canonized since birth, but there are still some people who are lucky, yes, the capital seems to be as plain as water, but in fact the undercurrent is surging.

Somewhere in the harem in the palace

"Damn! Useless waste, the wind and rain building can be destroyed overnight, go and check, this palace wants to see which side of the claws are stretched! ”

The speaker's slender fingers are covered with delicate nail covers with carved cutouts, which are sharp and slender. At this time, the fingers were clenched tightly, and the nail covers were even embedded in the palms, pressing out some crooked red marks.

The delicate makeup on the face made by the palace maid obviously looks beautiful, but at this time, it was completely ruined by that cruel expression, and anyone who saw it felt creepy in their hearts.

The situation in the capital is far away, Jingxi is currently unknown.

Deep in the Cloud Mountain

Jing Xi came to the tiger's den with a lot of hair, and the young man followed her, watching the little girl and the tiger family frolicking.

In February, the ice and snow have long melted, and everything in the clouds and mountains is lush and green.

The trees stand quietly under the blue sky, opening their arms to welcome the sun. The sunlight shone in like wisps of golden sand, shining through the overlapping branches and leaves, dappled and sprinkled on the green grass.

The meadows shimmer with crystal dewdrops, scented with grass, flowers, and moist earth. Countless kinds of small flowers compete to drill out of the soil, white, red, and yellow, like stars, so that the land in the forest shines with colorful vitality.

What a natural treasure trove!

Jing Xi likes this kind of primeval forest, and walking in this forest, he is not afraid of any danger at all. Even if she doesn't mention the secret guards who follow her, she can be unscathed by her own ability alone.

It is also her confidence in her own ability, and in the days to come, she often "does not do her job", which makes the young man extremely nervous, and he can't wait to imprison her by his side and never leave him.

It's a pity that I'm going back to Beijing, Jing Xi thought to himself.

Now this Kangyang County is still its own fiefdom, and it seems that you can start from this aspect.

As for the private school in the village, I have to invite a few respected masters to come over to teach, and it is best to expand one or two, so that the private school can become a academy, well, it will be called Cloud Academy, Jing Xi knows that knowledge can change fate, and she also hopes that her future fiefdom can produce more talents.

In a word, the construction of the Cloud Mist Academy began in this way, and that was her idea for a while, in the future, how many talents the Cloud Mist Academy sent to the Xia Kingdom.

This Cloud Academy is even divided into women's and men's colleges, which is the first time in the Xia Kingdom, and in the future, the Cloud Academy has produced a number of talents and even champions and rankings, etc., which also makes the Cloud Academy famous all over the world, and the students of the Xia Kingdom are proud of entering the Cloud Academy, and the people of Cloud Village are also proud of being the county lord's household.

As for the winery, Jing Xi sent a capable person under his father to manage it.

This person's name is Gu Bin, he is also sleek, he is loyal, he has followed his father for many years, yes, Jing Xi ordered Gu Bin to be in charge.

As for how to make wine, Jing Xi also gave Fang Zi, and Gu Bin, who was fancied, was ecstatic in his heart, this is a good errand, saying that he will definitely not disappoint the high hopes of the county lord.

As for Xinliu and the others, Jing Xi is ready to bring them back to the capital together, after all, he is also familiar with them, and if he changes others, he is afraid that he will not be used to it.

"Brother Chen, aren't you usually busy?" Jing Xi and Xiao Yichen were on the way down the mountain when they suddenly asked.

Come to think of it, the prince of a country doesn't seem to be so leisurely, right? Somewhat curious.

When the young man heard the little girl's question, he looked down at her, "Come out to inspect, don't be busy." ”

Xuan Ming, who was far away in the capital to help His Royal Highness the Crown Prince secretly handle government affairs: Your Highness, of course you are not busy, because it is my subordinates who are busy......

Looking at a bunch of excerpts, Xuan Ming: busy as a dog, I want to cry......

Xiao Feng in his heart: Your Highness, where are you not busy? There's still a lot of stuff to decide.

is like this in his heart, but there is no wave on the surface, so he has to follow His Highness silently, always paying attention to the movements around him.

"Daddy said that he would return to Beijing tomorrow, Brother Chen, do you want to go back too?" Jing Xi wanted to know if the prince would accompany him tomorrow, so he asked.

"Hmm."

The deep voice sounded, still so concise and clear.

The warm air, the green grass, the spring breeze dispels the cold winter, the spring rain moistens everything, this February is a special February, and the unbearable winter has finally passed.

Prince Rong left the steward in the Gu house, and Jing Xi also ordered the matter of wanting to build a academy, and the academy was built by the steward after that, and then the group packed their luggage and prepared to leave for Beijing.

A convoy slowly headed north.

The villagers who learned the news saw off respectfully at the entrance of the village, and everyone put down what they were doing, just to see the prince and his party go away, and then they went to work.

Among the people who saw them off, there was a young man who looked at the mighty and domineering team, looked firm, clenched his fists, and said in his heart: I will also work hard to practice martial arts in the future, and I will join the army to serve the country in the future.

This young man is Uncle Lu's son, Lu Jiancheng, often follow Gu Yi and them to exercise, Jing Xi sees him so serious, and often guides him when he is empty, after Jing Xi leaves, he often goes to Gu Mansion to exercise with the help of the martial arts training ground, and the steward has already learned the news, and he also appreciates him a lot, and teaches him some truths from time to time, which makes him gain a lot.

He often went to exercise, and he couldn't hide the eyes of his companions, and then even many children asked the housekeeper if they could follow the exercise in the Gu Mansion, which also shocked the housekeeper.

Eight years later, Lu Jiancheng joined the military camp, starting as a small soldier, and later with a momentum, he became a third-grade military general in the Gu family's army, which made Uncle Lu's family very happy.

On the third day of the second lunar month, Prince Rong moved out the grave of his beloved wife according to the auspicious time, and he couldn't help but have red eyes.

I want to love my wife's smile at the beginning, but now I am separated by yin and yang, and I make people happy.

Before leaving, Jing Xi left some silver taels for Uncle Lu's family, thanks to Uncle Lu's care and Aunt Lu's original care, now that he is going home, it can be regarded as leaving some silver taels for their family to live.

At this point, Jingxi's life in Yunwu Village has finally come to an end.
